Zelgor: The Shadow Before the Dawn
Long before the creation of Aedelore was completed, before the mountains were carved and the rivers flowed with life, the cosmos existed in a state of chaotic stillness. It was a time of potential, where the raw essence of magic and creation mingled in the dark expanse of the void. From this abyss, a figure emerged—Zelgor, the Harbinger of Shadows, a being born from darkness itself, embodying despair and the unknown. Zelgor was not merely a creature of the void; he was a force of destruction, a harbinger of entropy that sought to unmake what was to be.
His form twisted and flowed like a shadow, ever-changing and elusive, with eyes that shimmered like the stars lost in the dark. It was said that where he walked, hope withered, and dreams were devoured by an all-consuming darkness. In stark contrast, Taninsam, the Dragon God of Flame and Life, was a force of creation and light. As the world of Aedelore began to take shape, Taninsam breathed life into the cosmos, igniting the first sparks of existence.
His flames danced through the newly forming realms, giving birth to the radiant landscapes of Aedelore. Where Taninsam walked, vibrant forests grew, and the magic of life thrived.But the emergence of Zelgor threatened this delicate balance. Drawn to Taninsam’s light, he sought to extinguish it, to plunge the nascent world into eternal night. He was determined to consume the very essence of creation itself.
